Objective:

My ultimate goal is to obtain full-time employment as a consulting nutritional practitioner. Working with individuals to assess their health and wellness needs and goals by implementing holistically based nutritional skills and practices is my passion. By graduating at the top of my class from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in Vancouver, B.C. Canada and my following many years of experience in one on one consulting in the nutrition field I am prepared and motivated to assist clients in reaching their health and wellness goals. Through both my education and over 20 years of living a plant based lifestyle I am very knowledgeable in plant based nutrition. I have been consulting and specializing in this arena for the last 6+ years in conjunction with a heavy focus on gut health and stress management. I have a deep passion for working in the field of nutrition and contributing a holistic, plant based approach to nutritional practice.
